Tier 15 Rogue Set

[Verain]

I bet my eyebrows clip through it to be purple antennae, as usual.

Whatever, moon hat is the bestest.

[Venziir]

the set appears to be based on a fox or wolf. the design on the belt is similar to that of the white tiger's symbol. which is really weird, since there's no fox or wolf celestial.

Erm, no the beltbuckle is obviously a fox/wolf head.

That's exatly what Checking said... It is similar as in a similar style. He didn't say it was the white tiger's symbol.
anyway, Any word on when we may see this in the database or wowhead so I can check it on other races?

It's been on Wowhead for a few weeks.

I see this quote and raise you T14 and T4

Right, but it's nice to actually HAVE bandit-thief themed clothing for a change. The point I was trying to get across would be more like having 7 years of paladin gear that was full of fire and skulls without ever having anything that represented a holy knight. Our actual bandit-thief themed armors are very few and far between. (See also your avatar. That would be rad.)

The head and belt looks decent.

[checking facts]

Right? People tend to forget a Rogue is NOT a ninja. It's a rogue. A thief, a bandit, an assassin.

a rogue is not necessarily a ninja, but a ninja is a rogue.

one thing that bothers me about the rogue motif is that thieves, bandits, assassins, et cetera, I can't imagine any of those who don't use guns (in a world where guns exist). as such, the game kind of pushes us towards the ninja motif, since there's a shuriken toss talent.

I'd like to have a glyph that changes shuriken toss for "pistol shot" or something like that.

[Sesshou]

a rogue is not necessarily a ninja, but a ninja is a rogue.

No, I don't think that last part is accurate either. If you consider how they worked, who they worked for, and what they did, a ninja is not a rogue. Unless you find the word rogue applicable to a person in a large military organization. There is some minor overlap in there, but they aren't the same and one is not a subset of the other one.

[Galbrei]

I like it a lot, can't shake the feeling I've seen it somewhere else though...

*looks at rogue skills points at the stealth and sneak part* there ninja

[Aoek1]

for the white set... anyone else think it somewhat looks like Ezio from Assasin's creed?

[Sesshou]

Like I said overlap. Oh hey my rogue has a sword on, rogues are warriors.

For one thing to be a subset of another, it has to be completely contained inside the 'larger' set. That is not the case here. His comparison fails in both directions.

[Edlarel]

Thank you both. I guess I just wasn't searching it right. I really like the white set. Hopefully it's one of the easier to get.

Stealth is simply a game mechanic that represents hiding in the shadows since that's not something the engine allows us to achieve. That's something most thieves do as well as looters, snipers, SWAT team members, Navy seals, hell, kids playing Hide and Seek. Unless you're proposing that real ninjas simply vanished into midair with no shadow or cover?

That would be rad. Kinda like a flintlock on your hip for emergencies.

[Sealed]

I love how this set represents more of a self sufficient survivalist feel. Someone who could take off into the mountains after a heist and be completely at home with the wilderness and the wildlife before returning back to civilization for another lootfest. (See also, dagger thieves in the elder scrolls games.)

Don't want to be the nitpicker, but wouldn't that be the shtick of Survival hunters ? :P

Anyway, I get your point. I like the "bandit" aspect as well. I find the non-heroic versions rather plain, but I think they'll grow on me eventually.

we all know that swat and snipers and navy seals use close combat weapons and assassinate their targets from sealth and dissapear also kids playing hid and seek is fine but they dont stab each other ^^ to me rogue has a big ninja part its ambush from stealth schuriken toss vanish smokebomb i dont know any thief using smokebombs :>

[Deleted]

especially the boots and legs look a bit underwhelming. Shoulders, head and belt are nice though. Also white set is nice.

[Carp The Fish]

Also, isn't this the first PvE Tier set in HOW GOD DAMN LONG that doesn't have glowing shoulders or have some effect that (from an RP standpoint) eliminates the point of Stealth. ABOUT DAMN TIME.

[InFlames-]

I like the set overall but I think they could have done a better job with the shoulders.

Again, overlap. They are not the same thing. The rogue class in WoW may borrow some things associated with ninjas but rogues in wow are not ninjas nor are rogues in general nor is any of those categories subsets of the other. If you want to play a ninja, go play FFXI.
